Modes of
Heat Transfer
Conduction heat transfer
Conduction is the mode of heat transfer in which
heat is transferred from the high temperature
region to low temperature region in solids and
liquid at rest.
The energy is transferred from high energy
particles to low energy particles of the medium
due to interaction between them.

Convection heat transfer
Convection heat transfer occurs between the fluid in motion
and the bounding surface when there is temperature
difference exists between them.
Forced convection heat transfer the
fluid flow is assisted by a fan or
pump.
Free or natural convection heat
transfer, the flow of the fluid induced
by the buoyancy forces which arise
from the density difference caused
by the temperature variation within
the fluid.
10
The convection heat transfer is classified into two types:

The value of heat transfer coefficient depends on the
type of flow, the geometry of the body and flow passage
area, physical properties of the fluid, the average
temperature and the mechanism of heat transfer.

Radiation heat transfer
Radiation is the mode of heat transfer in which the heat
may also be transferred in perfect vacuum.
